This bundle is best suited for those building an upper-midrange gaming computer which will not be used for tasks more cpu demanding than gaming. Those who don't require top tier gaming performance would be best served finding a deal with a cheaper processor. Those who require a cpu with strong multithreaded performance for non-gaming productivity workloads (photo/video editing, code compiling, cpu based 3d rendering, etc.) would be best served by purchasing a dual chiplet amd cpu (ryzen 7900 or up) or an intel cpu (which have significantly higher multithreaded performance towards the lower end of their product stack compared to single chiplet amd cpus) according to their needs.

The 7800x3d is the best gaming cpu currently available, it's on average slightly faster than the 14900k in gaming while using on average 130w less power (total system usage) while gaming. The 7800x3d is an 8 core cpu which is sufficient for gaming for the next several years at least. It is not well suited as a productivity cpu, it's essentially a slower clocked and more efficient 7700x when used in most non-gaming tasks. The 7800x3d goes on sale as low as $340 from online retailers and as low as $300 from microcenter.

The gigabyte b650m d3hp is a b650 chipset micro-atx form factor motherboard. It is a fairly low tier motherboard overall, with the most immediately apparent flaw being the lack of onboard wifi. You will need to purchase your own wifi adapter if you won't be connecting using a wired connection to the lan port. The other major primary downside is a fairly weak 5+2+2 phase vrm configuration. This is far more than sufficient for a cpu like the 7800x3d which doesn't consume much power, but it may be insufficient to upgrade to a potentially significantly more power hungry zen 5 or 6 cpu in the future. Otherwise, it has most of the common compromises you'll see in am5 motherboards below ~$170 (no pcie gen5 support, only two m.2 slots and 4 sata ports, only 2 pcie slots (a primary gen4 x16 slot and a secondary gen3 x1 slot), no usb 3.2 gen2 ports, a cheap realtek audio chip, fairly limited heatsink coverage, etc.). Overall, while it's certainly a low tier board, it should be sufficient for most users building a pure gaming computer so long as they don't intend to upgrade to a substantially more power hungry cpu in the future. Pcie gen5 support won't matter for most users a few years at least. A major advantage of building on the am5 platform is longevity, you'll be able to at minimum upgrade to a zen5 (and most likely zen6 as well) cpu while using the same motherboard and ram. The motherboard specs page can be found here: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherbo...v-10/sp#sp

The ram in this bundle is something of a disappointment, being the standard cheap 32gb ddr5 6000 cl36 g.skill flare ram that most bundles (including microcenter's) contain. This ram uses samsung memory chips, which are all around worse than the hynix memory chips used in higher end memory, but are better than the micron chips used in very low end ddr5. Ram with samsung memory chips used to have major compatibility issues with the am5 platform, but bios updates have pretty much solved those issues by this point. The biggest current downside to using ram with samsung memory chips is the vastly inferior overclocking/manual tuning potential compared to hynix memory. If you'd just be sticking with base expo settings, then the performance difference with this ram compared to the recommended ddr5 6000 cl30 will be only a few percent on average in gaming at 1080p with a 4090. The reduced incidence of cache misses due to the massively increased L3 cache of the 7800x3d also play a role in reducing the impact. That being said, if you're willing to manually set timings, properly tuned hyinx ram would have a much larger performance delta compared to what you could achieve manually tuning the ram in this bundle.

Overall, if you don't live within range of a microcenter, want top tier gaming performance, and can tolerate the compromises of the motherboard in this bundle, this is a good deal.

Right. Like the other deal from before, I never even intended to keep the parts, but instead use them to subsidize the 7800X3D for a new build. Already got an X670E mobo on the way tomorrow and am buying different RAM.

To everyone, don't forget to use your AMEX for a whopping 2% off extra if you have that AMEX offer lol.

Edit: After doing the math, the "subsidy" may not really be worth it. Maybe I'll just wait for a proper organic sale on the CPU alone and not deal with the hassle. Decisions decisions.

I doubt it otherwise everyone would be abusing these combo deals like this and they'd probably reintroduce restocking fees again.

You can swap parts around on these combos. I changed to a Gigabyte x670 motherboard with WiFi and cl30 memory. Sure it's $624 shipped but I think it will be worth the extra $

The problem with that though is are you really getting that good of a deal, just because Newegg is saying you're saving $100?

What should I do with my current build? I think my RAM is the slowest part of the system and I'm guessing it's not worth spending money yet to upgrade anything right?

The nice thing about the X3D processors is that they're not as sensitive to RAM speed due to their large cache.

Motherboard kills this deal for me though, I need a full ATX board.
